IN MY OPINION IT DRONES LIKE CRAZY AND AND ITS REALLY LOUD....IM CONSIDERING GETTING A MAGNAFLOW XPIPE OR STICKING BACK THE STOCK EXHAUST AGAIN, I LOVE THE LOOK AND IT IDLES GOOD BUT AT 2K OR 3K IT DRONES TOO LOUD...I CANT EVEN SPEED WITHOUT GETTING ATTENTION....

ANYONE KNOW IF I SHOULD GET THE X PIPE AND IF IT WILL CURE THE LOUDNESS OR SHOULD I STICK BACK THE STOCK....
Yes the x-pipe will cut down on the drone. Don't expect it to be dead silent after the x-pipe. there will still be some noticeable sound and drone but will be significantly reduced with an improved tone. Check on my sig to see my Youtube page to see videos of my exhaust with the x-pipe.

Run a search, there have been many threads that list the exact part number and even have links to the cheapest places. It is a magnaflow resonated x-pipe, don't be lazy...

i have to say this exhaust really poor in quality. from the h-pipe that i changed to magnaflow x resonator.
after 2 weeks of use, the weld inside the driver side muffler are loose. giving me some annoying rattle sounds! should've put a bit more money and buy much better quality exhaust.

You sure it's a bad weld and not just something that isn't tightened down properly? If the weld is gone you would likely have a full blown leak which you would be able to recognize.

yes im sure.. i already went to my tuning shop and they also say its the muffler.. cos when he hold inside of the mufflers with some screwdrivers, there are no more rasp. its not the tips too.

and i do recognized it by having SUPER LOUD RATTLE inside the muffler which is so annoying. Im filing a claim to m2, if they dont get me a replacement, i would just probably cut the muffler on both side and have it done with straight pipe..

I would contact strafe first, if they are willing to take care of the issue it will likely be easier than trying to go through m2

Hey I still have the exhaust and I do still like it. So far, no problems at all! (Knock on wood). I bought my exhaust from Marinelli Motorsports. He is a great guy and it was a fast delivery.

We all have different tastes in exhaust sounds, but I kind of wish it was louder!

I heard Severe's M2 with HFC's and DAMNNNNNNNN THAT IS LOUD!!!

HFC with magnaflow resonated x-pipe is a nice combo
